Steinway Society Scholarship Winners 2005
Each year, about 20 finalists are selected from among the many scholarship applicants by a panel of accomplished teachers who listen, anonymously to their audiotapes. At the recent auditions these finalists, ages 7-18, played two contrasting pieces from memory before three prominent adjudicators, Jae-Hyuck Cho, Marc Peloquin and Karen Walwyn who selected the winners. Members, teachers and parents were in the enthusiastic audience.
Over the last eighteen years, more than 100 students have received Steinway Society scholarships. Many of the past winners have gone on to win other state and national prizes and study music in college. Each year a total of about $3,000 is granted, depending on revenues from Musicale attendance.
